2. 🔍 Official Kraken Boss Leak for Astraeos Map
· Checking the game files via the mod menu (Gaia admin commands) revealed a dino named 'Kraken,' suggesting it's a file existing within the game itself, not a mod.
· Specifically, 'kraken_tentacle' along with 'beta' and 'alpha' versions of Kraken files were found in the 'game/mods/astraeos/asexcoreblueprints' path, making it highly likely that an official Kraken boss will be added to the Astraeos map.
· It was confirmed that Studio Wildcard previously mistakenly posted and then deleted a patch note stating 'Removed unreleased Astraeos Kraken box related items.'
· Subsequently, a community crunch titled 'Released the Kraken' was announced, leading to the misunderstanding that the Paleo Octopus was the Kraken, but it is now expected that both the Atlas Kraken and the Paleo Octopus Kraken will appear.
